AWC Committees

Want to get involved in AWC, but don't know how or who to contact? Below is a list of all of our committees, a short description of each and who to contact if you are interested.

Programs Committee
Contact: programs@awc-aa.org.
The Programs Committee develops fun and professional program ideas. Programs include things like panel discussions, presentations, classes, book readings, and parties. The Programs Committee ensures that the web site is updated and works with the VP of Publicity to get the word out. Besides arranging who will deliver the program, the Committee determines location, cost, date and time, and arranges the necessary catering.

Lunch Czar(ina)s
Lunch Contact: programs@awc-aa.org.
AWC networking lunches are managed by various women who take turns planning, advertising, and hosting AWC networking meals. They are open to everyone: members and non-members; women and men. These are informal affairs; no dress code is in place. Often business cards are exchanged, so it is a good idea to bring some.
